Remember, when the smart extension is applied to a *writer*, it
means that straight quotes will be used. (The idea is that
you're producing output that would be interpreted by something
with 'smart' support.) When you disable smart, curly quotes
are used. It's a bit counterintuitive but it makes sense when
you think about it. (There's a recent thread on this list about
it.)
You can use `-t plain+smart` if you don't want this.
